Add to CartThe short answer: In my view, we are in a new monetary regime and a higher inflation period. Margins are compressed and costs are not coming down. The businesses that win will reduce expenses, run with leaner teams, and get more output from every hour, every square foot and every kilowatt. We redesigned our equipment for exactly that.

Why I Believe Costs Will Stay High
As a business person, I plan for the world as it is. In my experience, wages, rent, freight, utilities and materials have moved up, and I do not plan on them moving back down. Waiting for relief is not a strategy. Redesigning how the work gets done is.
We Have Done This in Our Own Businesses
WaxMelters is built by people who build: every PRIMO melter is built from USA stainless steel to transform customers' businesses. We have restructured our own operations for higher costs, and we restructured and redesigned our equipment the same way.
How the Equipment Is Designed for a Higher Cost World
- One-person operation. The AutoShot System is described as a strong fit where fill consistency, cleaner changeovers and one-person operation matter. AutoShot
- Melting and filling on one mobile platform. Pour X-Press 1000 combines PRIMO melting with EZ-1 heated dispensing on one mobile platform. Pour X-Press 1000
- Energy efficient heating. PRIMO is engineered to heat evenly throughout the vessel, with waterless heating, digital temperature control and energy efficient operation in an insulated production vessel. The Slab Melting Tank runs on 600 W at 120 V. PRIMO
- Less floor space. The PRIMO Wax Hands 4 Compact occupies a 20 x 20 in. floor footprint, and the X-Press 150 compacts from about 30 in. to about 17 in. for transport. Wax Hands 4 Compact
- No proprietary supplies. PRIMO does not require WaxMelters branded or proprietary wax, so you can buy it at a wax supply house near you and skip costly freight.
- Built to last. USA stainless steel, designed, built and tested in Ronkonkoma, New York.
What This Means for Your Margin
Fewer hands per batch, less energy per pound, less space per line and no lock-in on supplies. Each of those protects margin. Together they let you grow output without growing headcount at the same pace. We'll save you time, energy, and money.
